ORIENT'S youth team travel to Blackburn Rovers on Monday evening for their FA Youth Cup sponsored by E.ON fourth round contest.
The O's have seen off Bromley, Swindon Town and Academy side Milton Keynes Dons in the previous four rounds, and now Blackburn stand in their way of a fifth round meeting with Manchester United.
Blackburn's youth team are enjoying a terrific season, and they currently sit top of the Premier Academy League Group C - a league that includes the Red Devils, Manchester City and last season's FA Youth Cup runners-up Liverpool.
Rovers eased past Blackpool in round three and O's youth team manager Andy Edwards is under no illusions as to the size of the task facing his side.
He said: "It is a tough draw, but one the lads are really pleased with - going to play at a Premier League ground is a great opportunity for them.
"Looking at Blackburn's results this year they are probably one of the top two or three Academy teams in the country, so it will be a real test for us and one we're looking forward to."
Kick-off at Blackburn's Ewood Park is at 7pm and a full match report will appear on leytonorient.com this evening.
